Childhood tv memories

El Guapo! · 21-04-2011 09:58PM #1

So myself and the girlfriend were just lookin on youtube at old theme songs from tv shows years ago and the memories came flooding back! Almost all the words came back to me straight away too.
Kids tv shows just aren't the same anymore (sweet jesus I sound old)
There's the likes of Mr.Ben, Rosie and Jim, Round the twist, Saved by the bell, Pugwall.......Fúcking PUGWALL!!!:D
Then I found this one that I couldn't remember the name of for ages! I remember being glued to the tv when I was real small. I asked loads of my friends and they can't remember it "Johnson and Friends". Brilliant!

OutlawPete · 21-04-2011 10:08PM

My favourite kids TV show when very young was Top Cat and then a few years later it was Bilko, little did I know the connection at the time though

Nice one Biggins, my favourite childhood show, Saturday morning surrealism with cartoons and craziness.
Loved it! Song stayed with me all these years!

sleepyescapade · 21-04-2011 10:13PM

LOVED johnson & friends

TFK · 21-04-2011 10:15PM

Loved Top Cat too.

Is it OK to pass off Tots Tv as my own even though my kids watched it?? I actually liked it! I'm a Tot *french bit* Tilly Tom and Tiny...

cucbuc · 21-04-2011 10:16PM

Sesame Street. Will never forget the screen of large dots that "counted" but always got stuck somewhere...used to drive my young brain demented but I couldn't stop watching.

Good times. Nothing like a bit of racism or Lynchian horror when you came home from school.

alexa5x5 · 21-04-2011 10:25PM

I don’t know why but this milk advert terrified me as a kid, used to hide behind the couch every time it came one:

I used to make my own 'chockys' (Triangular Pyramids) by stealing white plastic straws from school and then 'weld' them together over the flame of our gas cooker at home.

Ironic then that I never actually watched the show when it was on, just the music. I think it was for older kids than I was at the time. I recently saw the 3 series tho. 1st is great, 2nd is ok and 3rd is a JTS.

Crackerjack and obligatory Grange Hill reference.

Loved Dangermouse and Top Cat think RTE showed it, Recordbreakers as well, the Den with Zig and Zag, Dallas was risque, earliest memory was Bosco and Playhouse and Wanderly Wagon.

Loved Dogtanian though:

Thread made me think of, look up & find this.

Nice.

Anyone recall this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2idUewNfym8

Finally, wasn't there a fairly dull most of the time, but sometimes exciting & sometimes a bit scary programme on after 6.30 on RTE1 during the 80s set in Pharaoh Egypt? Anyone got a title for it?
